Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague from St. John's West and the hon. member for Malpeque for their comments.
There is concern about how custodial management would work. Some people have contacted me to say we would kick the foreigners off the nose and tail of the Grand Banks and the Flemish Cap. That is not necessarily so. Our interpretation of custodial management means other nations would be allowed to fish in the waters but under Canadian management and enforcement. That would be a good thing for Atlantic Canada and, for that matter, all of Canada.
Could my hon. colleague elaborate a bit on that?
